My Ashby Puerorum Family


My Tasker and Lawies families come from the tiny village of Ashby Puerorum so I went to see the place in 1971 when I first became interested in tracing my family tree.

There is a beautiful church - St Andrew's - surrounded by a lovely churchyard and I enjoyed searching among the gravestones until I found two for my family. I have not returned there since but it wqold be interesting to see as I planted some dafodills on the graves back in 1971. I wonder if they are still there!

RE: RE: My Ashby Puerorum Family

My Tasker and Lawies families also come from Ashby Puerorum, my anscestors are Robert and Sarah Tasker do you by and chance have any information that you would be willing to share about them? Robert was born in about 1811 and his James Westerby is my great-great grandfather.

RE: RE: My Ashby Puerorum Family

Hello Fred
I am thrilled to receive your enquiry about the Ashby Puerorum churchyard and to learn that we share an interest in the Tasker and Lawies families.
I will be pleased to share my information and bring you up to date. I have some photos and also information of national interest as the Jackson family married into politics, peerage and cricket!
My email is jhnorfolk@googlemail.com and I suggest that you may like to send a message direct so that I can then email back to you with family information.
Looking forward to sharing our stories!
Kind regards
John Norfolk ( now a grandfather, retired, and living in Devon)
